Cuba Denounces Terrorist
Impunity in US
Cuba has denounced the
impunity enjoyed in the
United States by several
confessed terrorists
who, lacking scruples,
have committed numerous
bloody acts against
Cuba.
The issue was addressed
on Wednesday by Cuban
Ambassador to the United
Nations Rodrigo
Malmierca, during a
Security Council debate,
where he referred to
freedom granted to Luis
Posada Carriles and
Orlando Bosch,
responsible for the
blowing up of a Cuban
plane in mid flight in
1976, killing all 73
people on board.
The Cuban diplomat also
referred to freedom
enjoyed in the USA by
terrorist Crispin Remon,
who is responsible for
the assassination of
Cuban diplomat Felix
Garcia and, two decades
later, tried to
assassinate President
Fidel Castro in Panama.
In contrast, he accused
the US government for
holding five Cuban
anti-terrorist fighters
in US prisons, although
they were only trying to
gather information about
Miami-based terrorist
groups in order to
prevent their violent
actions and save the
lives of Cuban and US
citizens.
He made the point that
it is impossible to
eliminate terrorism if
some such acts are
condemned while others
are kept quiet,
tolerated, justified or
simply manipulated for
political interests.
"We again demand the
immediate release of
Gerardo Hernandez, Ramon
Labanino, Fernando
Gonzalez, Antonio
Guerrero and Rene
Gonzalez, all
anti-terrorist fighters
who have been kidnapped
in US prisons for almost
ten years," he stressed. |
